 charming people, renowned in all the departments of human thought and action, heroes and heroines of many hard-won mental, moral and ma terial field, sages, warriors, high priests and priestesses of literature. art, science and religion. There, sur rounded by old comrades and cronies, is the tall form of General Sherman, the marcher through Georgia and the great American girl-kisser. Here, with his crutches beside him, sits one- legged General Dan. Sickles, politic- ian, soldier, diplomat and society man, chatting with long haired, lanky- looking Roger A. Pryor, torm- erly of Virginia, but now lawyer of some prominence in New York. The tall. slender, silvery- haired man of aristocratic military mien is General Schuyler Hamilton, in whose veins flows the mingled blue blood of the Hamiltons and Schuylers. He has his new wife with him, and is as spruce and spry as a boy with his first sweet heart and mustache. In that group smoking and talking on front yer anda, are Governor Green, and ex- Governor Bedle, of New Jersey; ex- Mayor Grace, of New York; Mayor Whitney, of Brooklyn, and Mayor Cleveland, of Jersey City; Judge McAllister and Judge Moran, of this state; Thomas J. Semmes, the eminent New Orleans lawyer; Bourke Coch- rane, the Gotham boodler defender, and Ben. Wood, once famous as poli- tician, editor and gambler. This queerly shaped man in the big blonde wig, and broad brimmed white slouch hat, with the wide black band, who looks as if his huge shirt-collar was about to swallow his head, is John Graham, noted lawyer and eccen- tric, who once horsewhipped old James Gordon Bonnet, of the New York HeraM. That group of burly, red faced, mutton-chop-w whiskered fellows, dressed like roustabouts, with their brooches legs rolled up at the bottom, and carrying huge clubs, is party of English lords and lord lings on tour. They are pretty rough looking, but they are decidedly better than the bald-p pated little beast of q duke over whom vulgar Newport has been making so much ado. The snowy haired old gentleman with the young girl wife, is ex-Governor Eng fish, of Connecticut, and the young lady with them is his sister, in- law, Miss Morris, who is the possessor of many accomplishments. The tall, striking looking man just sauntering past is John E. Barrow, of New York, the last living officer of the Texan navy, who fought under the Lone Star flag of the Republic of Texas nearly fifty years ago. The hand some lady, with black eyes, and hair as white and soft as silken floss, is his wife; and their dark-eyed daughter, Miss Mamie Barrow, is one of the recognized social favorites. The stately, dark haired lady, who moves SO rcgally, is Mrs. Lawrence Keitt of South Carolina. Her daughter, Miss Anna Keitt, tall, slender and graceful, with golden hair and soft gray eyes :; Miss Lotta Rogers, of Baltimore, a willowy little brunette whose pie turesque style of beauty has won her the title of "Thc Calabrian Bandits Bride;" and Miss Prescott, of Massa- chusetts, a classic featured, sunny haired blonde, are three of the undS- puted belles Of the season. Mrs. Nose Fraley, of St. Louis, is much sought notability She is one of the few people have ever seen, who have re- alized their whole earthly ambition. She aspired to be known to fame as the possessor of more trunks and dresses than any other woman in America; and all new world woman hood and scribblerhood concede that she has achieved her aspiration Changing costumes, from bonnets and plumes to gloves and slippers, five times day, she can run month and never duplicate feather, founce or iurbelow. Miss Kate Lincoln. of New York, with her statuesque face and prematurely gray hair, looks like the goddess of liberty just cut out :. of a new silver half-dollar.
 It would be easy 10 fill columns with the mere roll-call of people here whose names have filled some space in the blazonry of fame. Saratoga k their great annual meeting place With all its faults and shortcomings. it is the grandest and most attractive summer resort in our hemisphere It is gorgeous. and sometimes a little vulgar, but it is brilliant and demo- cratic, and never as indecent as Cape May or Naragansett, or as flunkeyish as Newport.
